Why Beginners aren't pointless

Nexon also didn't make it impossible to put points into LUK on a Crusader. That doesn't change the fact that anyone who does so is playing wrong.

And what if I wanted to add LUK to equip say a Diamond Dagger at level 50?

That would be because a Warrior that does advance can do everything that you do and more.

Warriors can equip Beginner-only weapons? Since when?

You give this game far too much credit. It is very simple Korean MMO. Have you ever been to any of the class subsections in this forum? There is a reason why there are cookie cutter builds posted in all of them and also a reason why your character will suck if you don't follow them.

So by saying Nexon made it possible to level a Beginner past level 10, and then went on to add Beginner-only equipment, that means I'm giving them too much credit?

Also, who seriously follows these guides anyway? Following what everyone else does doesn't sound all that fun to me - I'd much rather experiment with classes to see what I find more fun. If you seriously care about "your character will suck if you don't follow them" then you're obviously playing Maple as an obsession and not as a game.

So the counter point to Beginners being attention whores is that they can equip special weapons and flaunt them, obtaining an amount of attention unbeknownst to any actual class?!!

When/if you get to level 200 are you going to just log off and never play your character again, or are you going to stand in crowds of people using special level 200 skills and riding Red Draco?
Is that not "attention whoring", as you put it?

Give me an example of a situation where playing a Beginner with any of the weapons you suggest will allow for you to kill any enemy in the game more efficiently than a Warrior class of the same level, and then you will have a valid point.

Give me an example of a situation where a level 15 Warrior wil be able to kill monsters of the same level in the game dealing more damage than a level 15 Magician.
By this logic, we should all be playing one class.

Anyone that plays a class because of pr1de!111 and not because they personally enjoy it is doing it wrong.

I totally agree, thus why I play my Beginner - for enjoyment.

I like the boardgame Monopoly. I tend to play as the Hat. The Hat is smaller than the Car and thus can be harder to pick up - am I playing it wrong?
